Warning SINEs: <i>Alu</i> elements, evolution of the human brain, and the spectrum of neurological disease
2017-12-07
Abstract excerpt
Alu elements are a highly successful family of primate-specific retrotransposons that have fundamentally shaped primate evolution, including the evolution of our own species. Alu s play critical roles in the formation of neurological networks and the epigenetic regulation of biochemical processes throughout the central nervous system (CNS), and thus are hypothesized to have contributed to the origin of human cogn...
